ORIGIN

This 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata is finished in Mariner Blue over a black cloth interior and was purchased by the seller over three years ago via BaT. Around 3,300 miles have been added since, and the odometer now shows just 43,594 total miles. Power comes from a stock 1.6-liter inline-four paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and a color-matched factory hardtop is included. Maintenance in April 2017 at 42k miles included replacement of the timing belt, water pump, and thermostat. This NA Miata is now being offered at no reserve with a few recent service records, a clear Carfax, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in Mariner Blue, and exterior flaws pointed out in the photo gallery include a crease in the lower front-passenger fender, some scratches and paint paint chips on the upper and lower portions of the front bumper, dings in the trunk lid from the inside, fading on the windshield wiper arms, and a dimple in the top of the nose. The included Carfax is accident-free.

A factory hardtop accompanies the sale, and the black soft top is shown from several angles in the gallery below. A factory black vinyl boot cover is also included. This NA Miata is equipped with 14″ daisy wheels and a set of 195/60 Falken Azenis AT615K tires. Each corner is shown in the gallery.

The seller states that the cabin has been kept stock, including the original AM/FM cassette player. This particular car is optioned with A/C and power windows. Some wear is depicted on the driver’s outer seat bolstering.

According to the seller the A/C works, however the system whines intermittently. Currently the mechanical odometer shows 43,594 miles, a little over 3,300 of which were added by the seller.

The 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four has been maintained in stock specifications to the seller’s knowledge. A new timing belt, water pump, and thermostat were installed at a local shop in April 2017 at 42,852 miles. Several recent maintenance records are included, and the car reportedly passed a California emissions test in June 2018.

A start-up video can be viewed above.

The accident-free Carfax reports that the car was sold new in Kansas, and stayed there until the seller’s purchase in 2015. The last reported odometer reading was at 42,403 miles in May 2016.
